Australian mum Sally Faulkner is facing the prospect of never seeing her children again, with ex-husband Ali Elamine making it clear he will not facilitate any contact with the Brisbane mum.

Elamine, 32, has spoken to News Corp about children Lahela, 9, and Noah, 4, saying they are "happier than ever" and he has no plans to bring them to Australia.

His latest comments come a year after a botched attempt by Faulkner and a 60 Minutes crew to snatch the children back in Lebanon, which saw Faulkner and TV host Tara Brown jailed, as well as the camera crew and child abduction specialists accompanying them.

The group were eventually released and deported to Australia,.

Since then, Faulkner, has been doing all that she can to gain access to her children, to no avail.

Their father won't even allow the Australian embassy to perform welfare checks, nor has he responded to attempts by Faulkner to contact her kids.

"They're mine now", he reportedly said, prompting Faulkner to write on Facebook, "Our children aren't objects. They have feelings and their own needs and wants.

"How can he feel this way?"

He also likened Faulkner to a dog, saying, "If the dog is barking, you just close the door."

To which Faulkner shared the following post sent to her by her lawyer.

The last time the heartbroken mum even saw her daughter and son was when someone recently sent her school photos of the children anonymously.

Since Elamine took the children to Lebanon under the guise of a holiday before informing her they had no plans to return, Faulkner has been fighting to get them back.

However she is up against insurmountable obstacles including archaic laws in Lebanon that do little to facilitate a mother's rights, particularly after divorce.

Elamine told News Corp he has no plans to bring the children to Australia and plans to tell them about their mother's 'behaviour' when they are older.

When told of Faulkner's desperate attempts to see her children, he said, "We don’t really care, we’re not interested, and at the end of the day I will do what I like regardless of what she says.

"At the end of the day if the dog is barking you just close the door."

Meantime Faulkner claims their father is neglectful and living a life of leisure while her children are being raised by a nanny and grandmother.

Elamine didn't dispute the claims, only saying the children are "good" and surrounded by family.

Faulkner has also accused her ex-husband of lying by saying he would abide by all the courts orders, but no doing anything of the sort.

"He’ll say he is abiding by all the court orders but it’s not true and ultimately the kids are the real victims, they are the ones losing,” she told News Corp.

She has shared contact attempts with Elamine's legal team on Facebook as well as the Australian embassy in Lebanon.

The mum has sworn to never give up trying to see her children.

Faulkner met Elamine in 2008 while working as an air hostess, at a party in Dubai. Their relationship didn't work out and Faulkner returned to Australia six-months-pregnant, claiming Elamine wasn't supportive of the pregnancy.

He followed her home and proposed. They were married in 2010, relocating to Beirut.

The relationship continues to be rocky, with Faulkner returning home to Australia without her daughter, only to discover she is pregnant again, returning to Lebanon to give the marriage one last go.

Shortly after her return, the mother-of-two is frightened when a bomb goes off near their residence and returns to Australia with the children with her husband's blessing.

However the marriage ends and the couple co-parent, until Elamine fails to return the children from a trip to Lebanon in 2015, prompting the devastated mum to attempt to grab them back.
